I think the point of that could have been nothing more than character development for Jaime and Brienne. As far as the tv show goes, it seems to be a step backward for Jaime.
I suppose saying he died could have been misdirection to give him time to escape, but it's logically inconsistent with them disobeying a direct order from their Lord.
Also, Blackfish refused to help Sansa. Maybe he will lead the Tully army to help now that he's lost the castle, but I just think it's a storyline they don't have time to tell. Plus, if the Tully army aided Jon, then Littlefinger might not be needed to save the day.
